American Advertising Awards 2015

The Addy Awards recognize the best in advertising.

Artemis IT, Brevard’s leading IT provider was recognized for their Internet development and responsive design work at the Addy Awards in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Their work was completed for clients LEAD Brevard, Power Corporation of America, and Brevard Family Partnership.

Eric Needle, Longbow Founder, served Artemis as Marketing Director for three and a half years. As markting consultants, Longbow goes deep for it’s clients and often we’re asked to come on as a focused role.

The Addy Awards presented Artemis with an opportunity to show the community our expertise in web development and responsive design. The exposure they receive from the awards and public relations after the event, augments their ad spend. It’s a very cost-effective way to promote. Even better, it shines a light on our clients and builds morale internally.

“I’ve seen how AAF and the Addy Awards can build up visibility in the marketplace.” Needle relates. “So much so that I’ve often served on the Board of the local Space Coast club—and for this year, as Incoming President”.

The American Advertising Awards (also known as the Addy’s) rewards and recognizes the best in local, regional and national advertising.
